There are some spoilery bits. Overall, the message is, "Do we need another cop drama? Yes, if it's done well."
Still, just as Fox's "House" seemed somewhat derivative of other medical shows at first, only to develop into an unpredictable treat, "The Inside" may just evolve into something other than yet another cop-shop drama.
"This is a show about damaged people . . . and about how their damage sometimes makes them especially suited to the work they do," Minear wrote on "The Inside's" official Web site.
It's a brave concept, and the show may yet live up to that audacious idea.
It seems like any comparison to House is a Good Thing. Speaking as someone who enjoys that show--and it gets ratings like whoa, doesn't it?

I was thinking of posting a reminder in Press. Just in case there are one or two Buffistas with horribly bad memories like mine. Overkill?

Is something going on? What'd I miss?

The Fox forum just posted that a "writer or two" will be posting there during the West Coast's viewing.
Does this mean no Tim for watch and post?
Sad now.
The Toronto Star piece on the show ended thus:
"Oh, it will be gross" gleeflully promises Minnear. "It's going to be cool. There's going to be boundary-pushing and gore and entrails".
"Occasionally, I'll be wearing them"
